How Computers Work

Computers are electronic devices that we use every day. These are some functions of a computer:

1. Input: Imagine a computer is like a very smart friend. You can talk to it using a special language, like typing on a keyboard or clicking a mouse. This is how you tell the computer what you want it to do.

2. Storage: The computer also has a memory that’s like a long-term storage. It can save things for later, like when you save a game you’re playing.

3. Output: After following the steps, the computer can show you the results on a screen or play sounds through speakers. This is the computer’s way of talking back to you.

4. Software and Apps: The programs you use, like games and word processors, are like the computer’s games and tools. They tell the computer what to do and how to do it.

Computers use only two numbers, 0 and 1, as their language. This language act as a recipe that tells the computer how to function.
